Z.ai API pricing
Z.ai has one ranked offering on Syftly. Prices below are per-unit list prices from dated public sources — token- or credit-priced plans are flagged, and a missing price is shown as missing, never guessed.
* token-/credit-priced — the headline understates real per-unit cost, so it is excluded from cheapest-rankings.
Priced per token ($0.03 per million tokens for both input and output), not per page, so no comparable $/1000-pages rate exists without estimating — excluded from the price axis. Tight caps (100 pages per document, PDF 50MB, single image 10MB) rule it out for large documents, the documented language list is narrower than the hyperscalers', and China-hosted inference may raise data-residency questions for EU/US buyers.
